Valencia is a melodic indie pop/rock band from Philadelphia in the same vein as Hidden in Plain View and the Early November. Made up of Shane Henderson (vocals), Maxim Soria (drums), Brendan Walter (guitar), J.D. Perry (guitar), and George Ciukurescu (bass), Valencia have been together since 2003. After being impressed with a late-night listen to their demo in March 2005, I-Surrender label owner and Midtown drummer Rob Hitt called the guys that evening and signed them a week later. The group's full-length debut, This Could Be a Possibility, was issued in October 2005. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
